How to Make Asian Chicken Noodle Salad
- Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
- While noodles cook, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce.
- If using rotisserie chicken, shred 2 cups. If using chicken breast, prepare teriyaki chicken: Slice 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips, brush with teriyaki sauce, and broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare wonton crisps (optional): Stack 12 wonton wrappers and cut in half diagonally. Arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup shredded green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
- Drizzle with additional chili garlic sauce (to taste).
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts.
- Toss gently and serve immediately, garnished with wonton crisps if desired.
